Ingredients
- 4 pork chops bone-in, thick-cut - 1 to 1.5 inches thick
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika or chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil extra virgin
- 2 tablespoons Land O Lakes® Cinnamon Sugar Butter Spread
- 4 teaspoons Land O Lakes® Cinnamon Sugar Butter Spread
- 2 apples cut into thin wedges
- 3 cloves garlic smashed
- 12 fresh sage leaves
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- Marigold petals (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the broiler to high.
- On a plate, combine brown sugar, cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, pepper, and salt.
- Lightly coat each pork chop with the brown sugar mixture.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the coated pork chops and sear on both sides for 3 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
- Spread each pork chop with 1 teaspoon Land O Lakes® Cinnamon Sugar Butter Spread. Remove the pork from the pan to a plate.
- To the skillet, add the remaining cinnamon sugar butter spread, apples, garlic, and sage. Cook 1 to 2 minutes then remove from the heat.
- Return the pork chops to the skillet, top with fresh thyme, and transfer the skillet to the oven and broil for 2 to 3 minutes or until the apples are lightly charred.
- Spoon the butter spread mixture over the pork chops. Garnish with marigold petals, if using. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- For a refined sugar-free version, use coconut sugar instead of brown sugar.
